display is too big
since this isn't replacing the nc10 i don't think that matters at allThat's nearly £100 more than the existing NC10.

Been waiting some time for this... Any reviews yet ? I'm really interested to see how is the power consumption and battery life with the VIA processor.
Yep there is a review of the NC20 from a Ukranian website which is suprising as the NC10 hasn't even been released there! Google around for it or I posted the link up on my Samsung Netbook community site last week. We'll probably have a number of posters reporting back when they get hold of one if you are interested in following it
I'm not allowed to post the link as a I am a new member but google sammynetbook and it should show up if Google is showing me some love this week!
Thanx. I've seen that already last week. Not very usefull though. No comparison with Intel Atom platform either. I will be waiting for a proper one.

Is it me, or are all netbook manufacturers trying to slowly move into selling us cheap 'n' crappy ultra-portables instead?
I mean, come on! It's nearly 400 quid. TOTALLY missing the point IMO.
A netbook CPU is basically a joke - equivalent to a low-end CPU from 4 years ago. Breaking the £300 barrier seems just stupid to me, irrespective of how nice the screen is, etc.
I think the failboat's sailed with this one, stupid... stupid idea.
Im stating to think most netbook manufactures are missing the point. Surely they should be small and cheap, not big and expensive.
Hell you can get a nice looking proper ultra portable from PC World for £250, with a Intel Pentium T2390 @ 1.73 GHz. True it has a smaller HDD at 80Gb, but it wont cost £150 to replace it.
I really think there should be some rules set out as to what can be called a netbook, starting with screens below 10" and costing less than £300 (idealy less than £250 unles it comes with something amazing)
Sony also seems to have gone insane with the P series selling at £850
The p series is REALLY small thou......

Oh please. Just look at it! It's the tits. Windows XP, none of this Vista ****.
I'm happy with NC10 and the fact that the NC20 has a glossy screen would put me right off buying anyway. £100 for a slightly bigger screen and not much else?
Not just a bigger screen you get a slower CPU as well.
Early tests say it performs pretty much the same as the 1.6 atom.
early tests say it performs better in some useful situations like decoding.. its not something you could evey say 1.6 > 1.3 though tbh. its a shame the nano's are so so so late and slightly lower clocked than was expected
Vodka
Fair enough, would still rather have a 1.6 nano though, personaly Im waiting to see what ARM and Nvidia bring to the party.
I hope Via give it a really good go with the Nano. They have nothing to loose, as they won't be cannibalising Laptop processor sales like Intel might with Atom. So no need for artificial limitations.
